While existing lighting may be adequate for most hanging orwall-mounted business
signs, it is usually inadequate for lighting large graphic walls, or
large building signs Most fixtures light walls un­evenly, producing
scallops of brighter light. The amount of ambient light falling on each
sign or letter may vary considerably, but so long as signs are legible,
the eye will adjust to that variation.

ceiling, it is often desirable to install "wall-washers." These
incandescent fixtures are engineered to be installed flush with the
ceiling and to light a wall evenly. Lighting manufacturers can provide
technical information about such fixtures.
